driving a minivan??
This is a long story, but it's good.
So last week I had my car at the dealership, and asked them to take a look at a leak under the engine. They said it was one of the axle seals, and ordered a part for me. Very well - I waited until last Monday, and dropped my car off in the morning.
Later that day, I get a call. The seal that they ordered is not the right size, so they're overniting another in. OK, fine. Susan gave me a ride to work, and everything was good.
Next day - Tuesday - I can't wait to get my car. My coworker gives me a ride, I run into the dealership... and guess what: wrong seal. Again. They appologized profusely, and promised to give me a rental - BUT they only had one car available, a big-ass minivan. I almost choked when I saw it, you could fit a family of 20 in there.
Oh yeah, the minivan had carbon fiber trim on the console. Kill me now.
I said to myself, no biggie, nothing I can't handle for a day. The minivan drives like Noah's Arc, by the way.
Wednesday, I get another call - wrong seal, third one, WTF!
Finally, yesterday I got my baby back. I never want to let it go again.
So, what do a walrus and a Honda dealership have in common? They both like a tight seal. Har har har.

Are you still driving that yellow Del Sol? I am impressed that it is holding up in that Boston weather.
Aye, I miss my Sol on warm summer days! But no, I've moved on to bigger, faster, and better things - see http://www.netlegion.com/kelly/.
